I'm currently a Junior at the Pratt Institute. Last year I made a photo montage series of how it feels to have ADD. I try to use this diagnosis to my advantage in my work, instead of trying to fight against it. I made this series to illustrate how it feels to have such a jumbled mind that is always on the go, while paralleling it with moments where I'm in hyper-focused tunnel vision.

My advice: Instead of beating yourself up about how your brain functions, make art that requires your way of thinking and working.

I always put myself through that mental trauma when something goes wrong. Remembering that half of it is in my head and my perception of the issue is more of the problem always helps me put things in perspective. I really needed your ramble today, thank you :)

I find that I'll explain the whole story in detail, and then I'll start repeating parts of the story. Before I know it, I have just told the entire story AGAIN. Twice in a row. Which totally kills any excitement or entertainment built up from my story, and once again, leaves everyone annoyed.
